Some of us have been trying to edumacate folks about this for years. As you might have noticed, to date, it hasn't helped much, other than as a pressure relief valve for those of us watching the trainwreck, transfixed, aghast, and infuriated.“<br /><br />I have stopped trying to get the stupid to see. Fatigue set in after a decade of concerted effort. None took me serious, none have over the over the horizon vision, their focus is to the end of their nose. Now that I have departed that area and put 2,000 miles between, (moved to The American Redoubt) those i tried to help are reaching out for help. Not much I can do now i reply, then crickets to any other communications. They are still lazy and want to just buy trinkets to get ready, no real EFFORT. Success at training takes too much of an investment of their precious time, they still don’t get it. <br /><br />Regarding voting? Prolly wont vote in big elections till the mess is fixed.

We still can shoot and most times well enough because of military training, life long hunting, which, may be rusty as hell but will come back and serve you. Some of us that have a medical background, much like me as a retired nurse, I can man a guerilla hospital and hope to save lives, treat wounded. I know I have some value to what we may/do in the near future. If you read true histories of civil wars in other countries especially the first hand accounts of ordinary people that they learn very quickly the skills to survive and put monkey wrenches in the tyrants plans. They also learn battlefield medicine to save the partisans and families affected. This can't be emphasized enough, set your mind right, become hard hearted, train like your life and loved one depend on .

Aesop’s quote is good; too many folks need a boogeyman, we are an easy target. <br /><br />My thought is that by the time it comes up, either they’ve gotten to know me or I have the drop on them.

The Powers that Be don't give a flying *uck about the American People. They use, abuse and set us AGAINST Each other for FUN.<br /><br />AND that's just the Disposable Face People for the Deep State and the Chinese that BOUGHT them for the price of a Satrapy. From Wikipedia The satrap served as viceroy to the king, though with considerable autonomy. The word came to suggest tyranny or ostentatious splendour<br /><br />Sounds a LOT like the Walled Off Fortress our Capital has become eh? OH BTW the Chinese don't CARE if the Buffoons inside the Barbed Wire get smurfed when things get spicy, they are Disposable.<br /><br />You've posted the truth that the Chinese don't have a use for 90% of us aside from sex toys and agricultural materials. <br /><br />During the American Civil War our population was 18.5 million and today around 330 million. Far MOAR of them had basic skills in not shitting near their water supplies and fix it skills compared to our current Superstorm Sandy I-Phone lovers that were shitting in their apartment hallways in a day or two.<br /><br />When the "Natives" get restless the Powers that Be will withdraw into their secure taxpayer paid for fortresses and allow the 4 Horsemen to Do their THING. Grid DOWN from Our Actions OR THEIR Choice will make TEXAS a 50 State Situation. Population will die in mass as lack of safe water (Disease) and Famine gets those that figure out water safety.<br /><br />The best prepared will be part of the 18 million "survivors" of the 4 Horsemen if they avoid getting killed by each other. Unless the Chinese feel the need to clear out even those troublemakers (VERY LIKELY).<br /><br />OH BTW they are likely to be Amused to watch the "Hunger Games" LIVE as we fight and kill each other for ONE MOAR DAY of survival for our families.<br /><br />So as I see it it's die on your feet in a vainglorious effort or die on your knees as a slave. We do need to train up as not to be easy kills. We need the BEANS (and safe water, sanitation) First before Bullets as so two of the horsemen have less employment. We need to know the very few people we are willing to trust with our lives.<br /><br />Small teams, Closed mouths, Bad Attitudes.

Yup, some of my 'tribe' deserve the view from the top of lamp-posts, but me thinks the brush is too broadly applied. Am I gonna have to part of a Yid Brigade, echoing the Japanese troops in WWII, to avoid a 'negligent discharge' here and there? I just don't get it. If there's a Irish deep stater, are all Irish connected? Ditto for [enter whatever here].<br /><br />Just sucks to keep an extra magazine tucked away for this kind of shit. Other shit, of the unavoidable kind, also sucks.<br /><br />The posterior horn of my medial meniscus, more accurately referred to as my medial mucous given its consistency, precludes running for fitness or fun and being held in reserve. There are work-arounds which are accomplished. But then at 60, if I need to run, I have royally screwed the pooch.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447652854662228022noreply@blogger.com
